This Guide is designed to offer step-by-step instruction for using your TI-89 graphing calculator with
the text Calculus Concepts: An Informal Approach to the Mathematics of Change. A technology icon
next to a particular example or discussion in the text directs you to a specific portion of this Guide.
You should also utilize the table of contents in this Guide to find specific topics on which you need
instruction.
